The Glebe was built in the 1780’s and completed in 1793 as a Church of Ireland Rectory for the Vicar of Kilvemnon. We believe that it was first inhabited by Rev. William Ryan. There is an alleged story that when he was collecting tithes, the locals were so incensed that there was a riot! Rev. Ryan was so traumatised that he had to leave his house and Kilvemnon to live in Cashel. Since then the house has been occupied by a succession of Church of Ireland Vicars up to 1923. The house was later lived in by Danny Kinane – racehorse trainer, breeder and uncle to the famous jockey Mick Kinane.
